I just kept thinking "this is insane. I couldn't imagine having my parents being able to see where I was at any given moment".
I would have found that unbearably oppressive. I don’t track my kids and give them more freedom to roam than most parents. I am an absolute Nazi with digital devices - strict parental controls, no devices in their rooms, no headsets when playing video games. I tell them if they want a degree of privacy go hang with their friends in person.

I share mine with my wife and all the kids and vice versa. I don't even think about it. We don't have anything to hide. We just live our lives.

How many of y’all are like me and just find some inherent weirdness to always sharing location?
We had Life360 for like a day because our oldest has an android, and that was annoying as hell, so we promptly deleted it.
I rarely check to see where my husband is because he’s usually at work, and he’s not stupid so I’d assume if he is going to go to his girlfriend’s house he’d leave his phone at work
Sometimes I’ll get a text from one of the kids asking me to get them some cookies or something because they’ll see I’m at the grocery.

I haven't done it, but I won't argue with it if she wants to. She tracks our daughters phone.
I have nothing to hide.

The phones turned into digital leashes.

Hold the line.
It's ridiculous. Crime podcasts, social media, and helicopter parenting have made parents (yes, Mingo, mostly women) think they have some sort of control. You get hit by a car a block from home, you've still been hit by a car. Women attempt to self soothe by knowing where everyone is, all the time. But it's just that, it's self soothing. Control your anxiety on your own, like an adult. Or a man.

17 years together and this thought never came up for either of us.

I have it enabled.
I work normal hours but too many. She works just a few late shifts a week.
I don't really sleep when she isn't home. No trust issue, I'm just most comfortable sleeping next to her.
I'f I do fall asleep, I generally wake up when she's headed home anyways. I'll usually give it a look to make sure isn't stopped on the two lane having hit a deer. That's the biggest concern really.

It's helpful to know when my wife is headed back to the house so I can assess if I have time to have another drink.

If you care if your spouse knows where you are at all times you have marital issues and you're just afraid to admit it.

True story, I did that for a while. Then one day I finally gave in to one of my deep desires after working 80 hours a week for months upon months. I really nice fishing rod from Academy, I am walking out the store with it when my wife calls and ask me why I was buying a 300 dollar fishing rod. She called me when she saw it on tracking and I didn't realize it but when I set phone down it answered the call and she heard everything.

You're right, most of them are hammered under the control of ladies with Life360. You don't actually have any control, over anything. Kids have YouTube videos freely available on how to fake location. If your husband wants a rub and tug, he's going to get it. If your kid wants to leave his phone or watch at a friends house to fake their location, they're going to do it. They start this in Junior High or before. You have no control. But keep pretending like you do.

It’s ok. Here’s a link to it:
Can’t Really Control Anything
But most men I know like to control - more than women do. My husband doesn’t like me to go anywhere by myself because he’s afraid something might happen. My sons are the ones that watch where I am to make sure I’m not stranded or need help. I’m not complaining - but men like to be in control as well.
But keep telling your incel self that women have control issues if it makes you feel better. Cuz idgaf

As others have said, nothing to do with trust, but more to do with safety and it’s handy knowing where each person is.

Sorry, I didn't register that you were mixing two threads.
People attract what they feel they need. Women that want to be controlled attract it, and vice versa. If people need it to fill a void, that's their business, but the void is the problem, not the "solution."
If I haven't equipped my woman, or my kids, with the proper tools to not act like a hitchhiker in 1972, then I done fricked up. That's all I'm sorta saying.
